I’ll admit, I find preaching the gospel to those who do not know the word of Jesus or are not receptive of it a harrowing task, one which I can shy away from, however Proverbs encourages us to be as “Bold as a lion” and not to run away from our duties. I found this verse to be a great motivation to continue our evangelical mission and I hope it has been to you as well.
